Fitting a straight stairlift is a straightforward job, but it still requires technical expertise. There are a huge range of options available and our experts can guide you through the variety of choices.

Mobility around the home has become even more important during lockdown, and whilst the lockdown is beginning to be eased for some of the population, people who are shielding – including the elderly – are being encouraged not to leave their house until we reach level 1 of threat, and we’re currently at level 4. This means that if you’re shielding, or you’re worried about someone who is, then you need to make sure that you or they are continuing to stay inside – and if you can’t access all of your home, then that’s even more difficult to do.

Fitting a stairlift could give you your freedom back. Depending on the staircases in your house, you might need a straight stairlift or a curved one – but the experts at Manchester Stairlifts will be on hand to advise and guide you to ensure that your property is fitted with the most appropriate and comfortable solutions.

Any straight stairlift that we fit can be customised to your needs, whether that be in terms of length or in terms of features that are required. Not only can we guarantee the highest quality of materials and technologies, but also the best prices and value in the Greater Manchester area.

Straight stairlifts tend to be cheaper than curved stairlifts, but all of our prices are calculated following your assessment and when it becomes clear exactly what your needs are, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. You can view our guide prices on our website to get an idea of the costs involved.

To arrange your consultation and to get an initial quote for your straight stairlift, don’t hesitate to call on 0161 330 5544 or fill out a form on our website and one of our experts will get back to you as soon as is possible.

More than ever, the health of our elderly population is at the forefront of our minds. It’s important that whilst we remain vigilant, and shield them from the threat of coronavirus, that we don’t forget to ensure that all homes are appropriate for self-isolation – which might be the state in which all over 70s have to exist for up to 12 weeks, according to some government advice. One way of ensuring their safety is by installing a home stair lift.

Installing a home stair lift ensures that no part of the home will become off-limits in the coming months. Mobility is crucial to our sense of freedom, everyone should have the right to move freely within their own home. It’s critical now more than ever that homes are set up to accommodate those with mobility issues. Whether that is your elderly relatives who have been advised to avoid unnecessary human contact or if you struggle with mobility issues yourself, we have a stair lift solution for you.

At Manchester Stairlifts, we know the value of safety. We know how important mobility is to both our physical and mental health. When you’re stuck inside, a new home stair lift might provide the mental health benefits that can keep spirits up during this crisis – an investment well worth making. We have a range of solutions for both straight and curved staircases, which can be altered to fit your staircases at home.

We can come to you for a consultation and measurement. Acting fast is advised as we do not know how the current situation will worsen, and we may not be able to help you as quickly during a time of total lockdown, although we will always endeavour to do our best to help.

One of the things we take for granted is our mobility. We don’t consider the ease and freedom in which we move around our homes until we can’t. It often comes on gradually, when we start to leave things on the bottom step ‘to take up later’. Then one day the stairs we would scale 30 times a day begin to look like mount Everest and fill us with dread.
With bathrooms and bedrooms on the second floor it’s not until our mobility becomes an issue that the simplest of tasks become increasingly difficult. It can affect our independence and our confidence.
Stairlifts aren’t just there for the elderly. Stairlifts are designed for people with any form of limited mobility; for example, conditions such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, hip replacements, post-operative disabilities, strength and flexibility issues etc.
If you find yourself struggling to get upstairs, for whatever reason, it’s time to consider a stairlift – it’s as simple as that.

Do you know someone who has trouble going up and down stairs? A case manager in Manchester did and contacted her local authority for help. An older gentleman she was working with was no longer able to safely use the stairs in his home, and as a consequence was at risk for an out of home placement. No one wanted to see him have to leave his home, but realized that something needed to be done to make using the stairs safer for him. His case manager called the local authority and learned of various options.

After discussion, a stairlift was determined to be a good fit, as it met the needs of the individual and would work in the space available. Unfortunately, typical funding sources denied coverage, and family resources were limited, so the purchase of a new stairlift system was out. When it looked like all was going to come to nothing, the case manager remembered Manchester Stairlifts supply and install reconditioned stairlifts, She searched the site and located a reconditioned stairlift that would meet the need. The family purchased it, had it installed, and their dad is now able to remain home and use the stairs safely.

Our customer in Manchester returned to their holiday home to discover that his stair lift wasn’t working anymore. A case of poor stair lift battery care. He had unplugged it when he left for the winter, thinking that would preserve the batteries. But he’d forgotten to turn it off

Most stair lifts run on batteries housed under the seat. The batteries are charged by a charger which is plugged into a standard wall socket. The life of the batteries is usually several years. Good stair lift battery care can make a difference

Since our customer in from Manchester hadn’t turned off his stair lift (with the on/off switch on the downstairs side of the undercarriage) it continued to draw a little power off the batteries (to light the LED display). Since he unplugged the unit, the battery charger wasn’t working – the batteries went dead and had to be replaced. In other words, while the stair lift is on, the charger must remain plugged in or the batteries will die. On many stair lift models, the unit will beep if the batteries aren’t charging, reminding you to either plug the charger in or turn the stair lift off.

When leaving for more than a few days, Manchester Stairlifts recommend turning your unit off and unplugging it. This way, if there’s a power outage while you’re gone, your battery won’t be killed.

If you have a power outage while you’re home, we recommend turning your stair lift off after every use. This will maximize battery life while the power is being restored. Unfortunately, if the batteries are drained before power is restored, they will have to be replaced.

One final note – It’s a lot more difficult to change the batteries on a stair lift than it sounds. We don’t recommend trying to do it yourself. It’s tricky and there are too many things you could mess up – lots of wires, etc. . So please call Manchester Stair lifts.

A common question among people shopping for a stair lift is, “Are they safe?”. Stair lifts that are installed properly by an experienced provider and used correctly are extremely safe. A quality installer such as Manchester Stairlifts go to great lengths to make sure their stair lifts meet rigorous safety standards.

Some of these design considerations include:

Footplate and motor sensors that will detect an obstruction on the stairs and stop the lift

Seats fitted with seatbelts that will keep a rider secured while the lift is in motion

Swivel seats that will turn away from the top of the stairs while off loading

Batteries that are constantly charging so that a lift can be used during a power outage

Optional folding rail at the bottom of the stairs to avoid a tripping hazard

Enclosed motor to prevent clothing or hair from becoming caught

While these design features go a long way to ensure safe use of a stair lift, there are things that the user should keep in mind to maximize safety.

Make sure the user is able to stand, bear weight, and pivot

Make sure wheelchair users have ample strength to safely transfer from wheelchair to stair lift

Adhere to the stated weight capacity of your lift. Typically, between 300 and 400 lbs.

Use safety features like the seat belt and swivel seat when riding and offloading the stair lift
